‘Hoodie’ gang in gun 
attack on mum-to-be 


BY ROB GIBSON 

rob.gibson@mk-news.co.uk 

A GANG of teenagers assaulted a preg¬ 
nant woman at gunpoint and stole her 
shoes. 

Police said the 34-year-old victim, who 
is six-months pregnant, was left shaken 
and distressed after the attack in 
Fishermead. 

The woman was walking along Penryn 
Avenue at around 8pm on Monday, 
January 14, when six youths approached 


her and demanded money 

One member of the gang pulled a hand 
gun on the woman before she was 
assaulted and pushed to the ground. 

While the woman lay on the ground a 
young girl from the gang stole her shoes. 

The victim was saved from serious 
injury when a passing taxi scared the 
offenders away. 

Police have described the attack as ‘cow¬ 
ardly’ and are appealing for witnesses to 
help find the culprits. 

Detective Constable Phil Baines said: 


“The victim remembers there were a few 
people in the area at the time of the attack 
and someone came to help her up once 
the youths ran off. They may have infor¬ 
mation vital to the investigation. 

“This was a cowardly attack by a group 
of six people on a woman who is six 
months pregnant. 

“Luckily she was not injured but has 
been left shaken and distressed. 

“I am keen to speak to anyone who wit¬ 
nessed the assault or recognises the 
description of the offenders.” 


The youth with the gun is around 18- 
years-old, slim, tall, with blond hair, and 
wore a silver hooded jumper, blue jeans 
and black trainers. 

The girl is white, around 14-years-old, 
4ft 8ins and of heavy build. 

She was wearing silver jogging bottoms 
and a black hooded jacket. 

The four other men looked younger 
than 18 and all wore hoods over their 
heads.

DC Baines on 08458 505505.

Cash bid to bail 
out school build 


BY ALICIA BABAEE 

alicia.babaee@mk-news.co.uk 

MILTON Keynes Council is to bid 
for Government funding to plug a 
huge shortfall in its new school 
build programme. 

In October £60 million was axed 
from the programme by 
Government ministers, while a 
damning report highlighted major 
weaknesses. 

In November, MK NEWS 
revealed that the council was 
accused of common control and 
governance failures by the Audit 
Commission. 

It has had to find more than £6 
million to rectify problems caused 
at Giles Brook School in Tattenhoe 
and Ousedale's new Olney cam¬ 
pus. 

Last year Giles Brook was forced 
to close after the ceiling threat¬ 
ened to cave in, despite concerns 
first being raised in 2003. The 
repairs cost £3 million despite the 
school costing only £2.9 million to 
build. 

Ousedale was delayed by nine 
months and went more than a 
third over budget and is subject to 
a legal dispute between the 
authority, contractor and archi¬ 


tects. 

There have also been problems 
at Hazeley, Heronsgate in Walnut 
Tree and Oakgrove. 

Yesterday the council revealed it 
has held talks with the 
Department of Children, Schools 
and Families (DCSF) to discuss 
ways it can top up the shortfall in 
capital funding to make up the 
current deficit. This followed on 
from a meeting between Milton 
Keynes's two MP’s Dr Phyllis 
Starkey and Mark Lancaster with 
Schools Minister Jim Knight. 

Following discussions the DCSF 
has brought forward a ‘safety 
valve' bidding process to support 
local authorities who are unable 
to meet the demands of their 
school build programmes from 
within the original capital alloca¬ 
tions. 

A national pot of money, £150 
million, to cover the period 2008/9 
to 2010/11 has been set up. 

The council is also making a bid 
to the Learning & Skills Council 
(LSC) to support the creation of 
sixth form facilities at Oakgrove 
and Hazeley secondary schools. 

It hopes that the final phases of 
these schools, which go out to ten¬ 
der soon, will still be able to meet 


the planned opening dates of 
September 2009. 

Cllr Euan Henderson, responsi¬ 
ble for new school build said: "It is 
clear that the government is tak¬ 
ing our issue very seriously. We 
sensed a real willingness from 
DCSF officials to help Milton 
Keynes secure the funding it needs 
to provide our new schools. We 
have one of the biggest new school 
building programmes in the coun¬ 
try and it simply cannot be deliv¬ 
ered without proper funding. 
Everyone is doing all they then can 
to sort this issue out" 

The original Auidit Commission 
report, which was presented to a 
special meeting of the councils 
audit committee in December, 
also found that real and signifi¬ 
cant Health and Safety issues were 
also ignored at Giles Brook and 
that evidence indicated ‘a real risk 
of serious physical harm existed at 
the school." 

Control failures included the 
tight timescales imposed, inade¬ 
quate preparation for projects, 
and the absence of effective man¬ 
agement as well as reports of 
unrealistic budgets. 

Bids have to be submitted by the 
end of February. 


New mums welcome campaign 
to raise cash for new neonatal unit 



Panto star

baby Indigo 
and mum 
Laurel Triggs 
at Milton 
Keynes 
Hospital’s 
neonatal unit 


BY ROB GIBSON 

rob.gibson@mk-news.co.uk 

NEW mothers have welcomed 
plans to improve Milton Keynes 
Hospital's neonatal unit. 

The unit has remained 
unchanged since the early 1980s 
but, with the birth rate in Milton 
Keynes rising, a major fund-rais¬ 
ing campaign is under way to cre¬ 
ate a bigger, brighter unit with 
extra cots. 

The hospital wants the public to 
help raise £250,000 for the Little 
Future Lives Appeal - part of 
which will be used to demolish 
walls to create extra space. 

Unit manager Glenda Deacon 
said: “It's been the same since 
about 1984. 

“This is about making the unit 
more family friendly. 

“Many mothers are in here for up 
to 16 weeks." 

The hospital cares for over 300 
premature, small or ill babies a 
year and donations from the 
appeal will help to buy vital equip¬ 
ment to provide the most sophis¬ 
ticated care. 

If a baby is unwell it is rushed 
from the delivery room to the 
intensive care area. 

As their health improves babies 
progress to the high dependancy 
and special care areas, before 
being allowed home. 

Panto star Bradley Walsh visited 
on Thursday to drop off £1,700 
donated by theatre goers over 
Christmas. 

He showed his support for 
mums like Laurel Triggs and 
Phillipa Cullen, who have first 
hand experience of the current 


facilities. 

Phillipa, from Tattenhoe, said: 
“My son Ethan was born at 26 
weeks weighing only one pound 
11 ounces. 

“He's been through a huge 
amount but we were very lucky to 
be able to stay at this hospital, 
which is only five minutes from 
where we live. 

“I've spent six or seven hours a 
day here for the last four months. 


“What they want to do with this 
place will be fantastic for the staff, 
the mums and the babies." 

The hospital has agreed to fund 
four additional cots at £10,000 
each as well as seven new nurses 
and three consultants set to join 
by September.

Pay dispute: Striking journalists and photograhers outside the Citizen office in Auckland Park, Mount Farm 

Journalists strike over pay offer 


JOURNALISTS and photographers 
at Milton Keynes Citizen formed a 
picket line outside the newspa¬ 
per's head office during a pay 
strike this week. 

The three-day strike, which 
began on Monday, came after 
members of the National Union of 
Journalists had their pay claim 
rejected by the newspaper's man¬ 
agement. 

Further strike action will take 
place from January 28 to 30 and 
February 5 to 7 inclusive. 

Parent company Johnston Press 
had offered editorial staff a three 


per cent pay rise but the union 
said it was calling for a 3.5 per cent 
increase to ‘reflect the increased 
number of titles being produced 
with reduced staff numbers’. 

Features editor Karen Jeffery, 
who is mother of the chapel, said: 
“The chapel is resolute and we 
believe we are fighting the good 
fight. 

“We are still keen to talk to man¬ 
agement and we would like to 
resolve this. We have been encour¬ 
aged by the support of local 
media, the MPs and people that 
we know across the city. 


“It’s very encouraging to realise 
that people do value what we do." 

A statement released by 
Johnston Press said: “As previously 
stated, the overall company offer 
is generous given the current eco¬ 
nomic climate. 

“It combines a fair basic increase 
with significant improvements in 
the existing salary structure. 

“Steps will continue to be taken 
to ensure that the quality and fre¬ 
quency of our publications will 
not suffer as a result of any action 
taken by the NUJ in Milton 
Keynes." 


Mum calls for cops 
to arrest attackers 


BY ROB GIBSON 

rob.gibson@mk-news.co.uk 


A MOTHER has called for police 
to take action after her 15-year- 
old son was attacked by a gang 
using iron bars and a home made 
knife. 

The boy, whose identity has been 
protected, had been out playing 
football with his friends when he 
fell victim to an unprovoked attack 
as they walked through the car 
park at Tesco Express, Newport 
Pagnell, on Thursday night. 

His mother found him at Milton 
Keynes Hospital suffering from 
lacerations to his ear and head 
and bruising across his body. 

Yesterday she spoke of her son's 
ordeal and her frustration that the 
culprits remain free in the com¬ 
munity. 

She told MK NEWS: “His face was 
covered in blood. I was shocked. 

“Somehow he was really calm 
and the doctor said many men 
would have cried after what he 
had been through." 

Without any reason to be wary, 
she had dropped him off to meet 
his friends at around 8pm and 
agreed to pick him up an hour 
later. 

But at 8.50pm the boy and his 
two friends were approached by 
three older youths who began 
swearing at him for no reason. 

Two of them pulled out telescop¬ 
ic iron bars while the third had 
what was described as a ‘cus¬ 
tomised shank’. 

The bemused group of friends

tried to defuse the situation but 
the main offender hit the victim 
on his knee with the bar before 
beating him around the head as he 
lay on the ground, despite efforts 
from his friends to intervene. 

The gang left the boy bloodied 
and shaking on the floor. 

He was taken to hospital and 
required plastic surgery to repair 
damaged cartilage around his ear. 

One suspect was identified by 
police and others were identified 
by students at a city school - how¬ 
ever no arrests have been made. 

The boy’s mother said: “I was 
horrified and I wanted revenge. 
Why do older boys go out ‘tooled 
up’? My son is quite quiet and

“How can someone be assaulted

Council house building 
punished by right to buy 

SIR - The blame for the council not 
building more council houses lies 
fairly and squarely on the 
Government (‘Build more council 
houses call’ last week). 

Government rules and financial 
regulations penalise councils that 
build council homes. 

In addition, every home the 
council built would be open to the 
‘right to buy’ so the council would 
lose yet another council house to 
rent to Milton Keynes residents. 

That would be fine if the money 
received from the sale could be 
used to build another council 
house. But it can’t. 

Government rules require that a 
house costing, say, £100,000 to 
build must be sold for £40,000 to a 
tenant eligible for a maximum 60 
per cent discount, and half of that 
£40,000 goes straight back to the 
Government. 

The £20,000 left would not build 
you much more than a garage! 

While the Government punishes 
councils in this way, it favours 
housing associations. It provides 
incentives and subsidies and 
allows them to act as developers. 

The Liberal Democrat-led coun¬ 
cil’s aim is to ensure that the maxi¬ 
mum number of family homes 
with affordable rents come on 
stream as quickly as possible. 

What that means in practice is 
that the council works closely with 
the excellent housing associations 
we have in Milton Keynes to pro¬ 
vide new homes and we focus the 
council’s scarce resources on deliv¬ 
ering our programme to bring 
existing council homes up to the 
‘decent homes’ standard by 2012. 

The council is actively supporting 
the all-party campaign to press the 
Government to give councils a 
level playing field with housing 
associations. 

This would allow us to improve 
existing homes and estates, as well 
as to build new council homes. 

Cllr Irene Henderson 

Cabinet member for housing, Milton 

Keynes Council 

On the right lines 

SIR - Eagle-eyed readers will have 
spotted that MK Council finally lis¬ 
tened to my pleas and repainted 
the hazard markings outside 
Bletchley Fire Station just before 
your photographer arrived (last 
week’s MK News). 

Many thanks to all concerned. 

The challenge to MK Council now 
will be to enforce these markings 
so that inconsiderate drivers who 
endanger lives receive the appro¬ 
priate sanction. 

I recently asked the council about 
the amount of time that traffic 
wardens spend in West Bletchley, 
as I do not recall ever seeing one 
here. 

I was told that they spend 60-70 
hours per month in West Bletchley. 
No doubt this will come as a sur¬ 
prise to residents in West Bletchley. 

In the meantime, rest assured 


Hospital bug cure 

SIR - It was encouraging to see 
that the hospital was getting a 
thorough deep clean in your 
paper last week. 

Surely this is not before time as 
we appear to be living in an age 
when there are more bugs to be 
caught inside the hospital than 
on the outside. 

Mr J Green 

Whaddon Way, Bletchley 

Booklovers’ home 

SIR - I was glad to see that 
Milton Keynes library has got the 
recognition it thoroughly 
deserves by being placed second 
in the country based on the 
number of items loaned each 
year. 

I think people forget how vital a 
role a library can play to people 
within the community. 

I am out of work due to a dis¬ 
ability and the library has 
become a second home for me. 

A library is so much more than 
a place to loan out books. 

I do not have access to a com¬ 
puter and use the library com¬ 
puters three or four times a 
week. It is a lifeline for me and so 
many other people.

Great day with Lions 

SIR - I just thought that I had to 
write to say what a wonderful 
day I had watching the MK Lions 
at last weekend’s cup final. 

I have never been to a live bas¬ 
ketball game before and I was 
certainly amazed by how exciting 
the game was. 

I normally go along to watch 
the Dons when they are at home 
as I feel you should watch your 
local sides but over the past few 
weeks the games have been a bit 
boring with just the odd goal. 

But the cup final was something 
quite different with the game 
going first one way then the 
other and when Newcastle came 
back to within just a couple of 
points in the final end I was on 
the edge of my seat. 

Well done the Lions, let’s hope 
the Dons can come up with an 
exciting end of the season and 
also win, the problem is I don’t 
know which to go and watch 
now.

Thick thieves 

SIR - What sort of sick people 
would vandalise an ambulance? - 
your story last week. 

I was shocked and appalled to 
read that anybody, no matter how 
desperately they needed drugs or 
money, would stoop so low to 
actually steal from an emergency 
vehicle. 

They must be so thick to destroy 
something that they could actually 
need to use themselves one day. 

I just hope that come the day 
when these people do actually 
need an ambulance to help them 
or a family member, that the 


ambulance is not able to come for 
them and they suffer as a result. 

That way they might actually start 
to think about the consequences of 
their actions. 

Name and address supplied 

■ SIR -1 was disgusted to read 
your article last week about the 
ambulance that was trashed by 
thieves. 

I can’t believe that anyone would 
stoop to such levels, what can have 
been going through their minds? 

I don’t know what the world is 
coming to when even ambulances, 
which provide such an important 
service to our communities, are 
not safe. 

It is awful to think what could 
have happened if the patient need¬ 
ed to be rushed to hospital.

Councils should have 
power to build homes 


SIR - Congratulations to the MK 
Defend Council Housing Group 
which organised a successful 
demonstration outside the 
council offices last week. 

It highlighted the desperate 
shortage in Milton Keynes of 
genuinely affordable flats and 
houses available for our citizens 
and the role that the council 
could play in filling this gap. 

For too long the supply of 
housing has been left to the 
vagaries of the market with dis¬ 
astrous results - a catastrophic 
shortage of affordable homes to 
buy or rent. 

Gordon Brown, to his credit, 
has pushed housing much high¬ 
er up the political agenda and 


Government investment in 
affordable homes is rising. 

But this is a time-consuming 
process which could be speeded 
up by giving more powers and 
funding to councils to build a 
new generation of first class 
council homes with low rents 
and secure tenancies. 

Councils should be given the 
leading role in driving through 
a major programme of council 
house building - they know the 
needs of their communities and 
they are accountable. 

For the sake of present and 
future generations we need to 
act now.

Jury’s Inn say they cannot believe 
the failures the inquest has 
exposed. 

John Robinson, 49, was working 
as a cladder on the scaffolding on 
Witan Gate when it came crashing 
to the ground on April 11 2006. 

His injuries did not seem life 
threatening but he died three days 
later in hospital from a blood clot, 
which experts say was triggered by 
the fall. 

On Friday nine jurors who had 
spent two weeks hearing evidence 
at an inquest returned a narrative 
verdict in which they concluded 
that his death was accidental. 

The inquest was told of a num¬ 
ber of flaws including that the 
number of ties attaching the scaf¬ 
folding to the building was insuffi¬ 
cient, inspections by main con¬ 
tractor McAleer and Rush were not 
frequent enough, a loading bay 
was removed before it should have 
been and too much was being 
stored on the scaffolding. 

There was insufficient facade 
bracing, parts of the facade were 
missing, there were elements of 
ledger bracing missing, the scaf¬ 
folding was wider than it should 
have been and poles and tiles were 
too far apart. 

The jury concluded: “We are 
returning a narrative verdict of 
accidental death. 

“The deceased by occupation 
was a tile cladder. 

“On 11 April 2006 he was work¬ 
ing on the west elevation of the 
Jury’s Inn hotel Milton Keynes 





Inquest jury returned a narrative 
verdict of accidental death on 
carpenter John Robinson 

which was in the course of con¬ 
struction. 

“During the morning of 11 April 
2006 he and others were fixing 
tiles to the west elevation. At 
about 12.30pm on that day the 
scaffolding upon which he was 
working started to collapse. 

“He fell with the scaffolding 
towards the ground. Emergency 
services were called and he was 
found to have injuries. He was 
taken to hospital and died three 
days later. 

“No one cause can be identified 
as the reason for the collapse but 
there were several factors which 
contributed to it which were not 
recognised at the time.” 

After the inquest Mr Robinson’s 
wife and son released a statement 
which said: “John was a loving 
husband, father, grandfather, 


brother and son. 

“He was deeply loved by all his 
family, his nieces, his nephews 
and many friends. 

“When he died at the age of just 
49 it was a tragedy for us all and 
most of all for him. 

“The verdict of the jury has con¬ 
firmed what we always knew, that 
John died as a result of the col¬ 
lapse of scaffolding at Jury’s Inn. 

“We understand the limits of 
what a verdict at an inquest can 
say, but believe that in giving a 
narrative verdict referring to the 
many factors which contributed 
to the collapse the jury have found 
that there were many failures and 
defects at the Jury’s Inn site and 
scaffold. 

“As a family we can hardly 
believe the scale of the evidence 
that the inquest revealed, and we 
can only hope that lessons have 
been learned which will mean that 
no other family has to suffer in the 
way we have.” 

The Health and Safety Executive 
investigation is ongoing and will 
identify whether prosecutions can 
be brought. 

Main contractor McAleer and 
Rushe expressed their condo¬ 
lences and said: “McAleer and 
Rushe had appointed what it 
believed was a highly competent 
scaffolding contractor to carry out 
the work, but since the accident 
McAleer and Rushe has revised its 
procedure and has appointed its 
own scaffolding expert to oversee 
the design, construction and 
inspections of scaffolding across 
all of its construction sites. 

“We have learned from it and we 
hope that such a tragedy will never 
occur again on a UK building site.”

One last splash for 
open air swimmers 



Wolverton pool will open in May for one last season 


Delays on new 
health centre will 
see Wolverton lido 
open this summer 

BY LAURA HANNAM 

laura.hannam@mk-news.co.uk 

SWIMMERS can get ready to splash 
out this summer as WolvertoiTs 
outdoor pool will open for one 
more season. 

The heated pool on Aylesbury 
Street West, which is 43-years old, 
was believed to have closed for good 
in September to make way for a new 
health and social care facility to be 
built on the site. 

However, the build date for the 
health centre has now been put 
back allowing swimmers another 
chance to catch the sun’s rays by the 
pool. 

A spokesman for Milton Keynes 
Primary Care Trust said the compli¬ 
cated health centre project, which 
involves several organisations, has 
been posponed to make sure all the 
plans are right. 

“The project has been delayed and 
we are now anticipating that work 
will begin on the site in September 
2008. 

“This provides an opportunity for 


the pool to open for another sea¬ 
son.” 

Hilary Saunders, chairman of the 
Wolverton and Watling Way Pools 
Trust, said: “Fans of open air swim¬ 
ming will have all of next summer to 
enjoy the experience. It is a lovely 
experience swimming outside, and 
the pool is heated. 

“I hope people will come on the 
dull days as well as the crowded very 
hot days because there are too few 
“scorchers” to pay our bills. 

“I like to swim when it is raining 
because I then often have the pool 
all to myself, but I would like more 
people to discover the joys of swim¬ 
ming in the rain. 

“Just a word of warning, we cannot 


allow you to swim when there is 
thunder and lightning about.” 

The pool, which can hold 900 peo¬ 
ple at a time, is likely to open from 
May 10. 

However, the go ahead has not yet 
been confirmed by Milton Keynes 
Council. 

When it closes it will be replaced 
by an Olympic-size indoor swim¬ 
ming pool to be built on land cur¬ 
rently owned by Radcliffe School, on 
Aylesbury Street West and adjoining 
Western Road Recreation Ground. 

This will be funded with £9 million 
given to the project as part of a 
£732m Growth Area Funding pro¬ 
gramme, which the Council placed 
a bid for earlier this year.

Rape arrest man released 

A MAN who was arrested in connec¬ 
tion with a serious sex assault has 
been released without charge. 

The 24-year-old was arrested after 
a woman called police at 2am on 
November 1 last year, after she was 
allegedly assaulted in Ladymeadow 
Court, Middleton. 

The woman, aged 28, claimed that 
she had been attacked as she walked 
home from the city centre. 

Police marquees were erected on 
Noon Layer Drive and scenes of crime 
officers searched for forensic evi¬ 
dence. 

The suspect was arrested and ques¬ 
tioned by police before being released 
on police bail. 

He returned to Milton Keynes Police 
Station last Tuesday and was released 
without charge. 

A police spokesman said the investi¬ 
gation is still active. 

One-way high street 

PLANS to turn the high street in Stony 
Stratford into a one way road are like¬ 
ly to go ahead. 

The idea is among proposals aimed 
at easing traffic problems in the town. 

Milton Keynes Council says the 
majority of the 500 people who 
responded to a consultation in 
December were in favour of the 
scheme, so it is moving ahead with 
the project. 

The proposals also include a traffic 
calming scheme on London road, a 
formal crossing on Church Street 
close to the junction with High Street 
and, the introduction of waiting 
restrictions and residents’ permit 
parking to deal with various parking 
problems throughout Stony Stratford. 

Cllr Chris Williams, transort boss 
said: “We hope to start work at the 
end of February and be finished by 
early spring.”

Milton Keynes schoolchildren enjoying flee delights of Longrigg - now they could be sharing with 'team bunders' 


Future unclear for schoolchildrens’

opened up lu the public to 
bring in more money. 

The education centre*, 
owned by Milton Keynes 
CxHincU, have both been asked 
to expand their markets to 
help secure their future*. 

They inc lude the Caldecotte 
Project, in Simpson, run by the 
council in partnership with 
Actioti4Youth, and Longrigg 
Resident ial Centre in 
Cumbria. 

Both were set up a* indepen 
dent non-profit making lacili 
lies lo serve the yxiung people 
ol Milton Keynes. 

Between them they offer oul 
door pursuits such as camp 
ing. mountaineering, rock 
climbing, water sports, caving, 
archery and team building 
activities. 

A review ol Milton Keynes* 
outdoor education services 
was commissioned by the 
council to develop a Iraine 
work for live future of the cen¬ 
tre*. 

This included an urgent need 
to determine the luture fund 
ing situation for 1-ongrigg as its 
existing fcJILOIXI subsidy horn 
the councils dedicated 
schools budget will he cul 
Iroui April 200(1. 

last Tuesday (January 15} 
the councils cabinet commit 
tee gave the go ahead lor an 
action plan which includes 
prxiposal* lo open up the cen 
tres to new markets. 

These rnay include the devel 
optnent of weekend am! holi 
day activities or courses lor 
the public, birthday parties 
and gilt vouchers for activities 


and the expansion of team 
building or problem sulving 
cxiurves lor local businesses. 

Paul Sanders, assistant direc¬ 
tor fur Leisure, learning and 
culture at MK Council said: 
*T!ie locus ul the centres is 
very much to use Ihe outdoors 
to improve young people's 
live*. 

"It is about making young 
lieople stronger irt themselves, 
mure confident and able lo 
work in a team. 

"Tile main locus will always 
lie children, yxiung people and 
education.** 

The centres wxmld avoid 
affecting I he service to yxmng 
people IkiiIi through program¬ 
ming lor example by ofiening 
up the centres on weekends 
and during holiday* when 
they are nut used by schools 
and through developing their 
mhaxtrxicture to allow them tci 
keep live groups separate. 

This includes plans to 
expand Ihe waters ports centre 
at live Caldecotte Project. 

Tire action plan also includes 
pruposals to replace the 
00,000 grant to Longrigg by 
transferring £25,000 of subsidy 
over from Caldecotte and fur 
mure joint working between 
the centres. 

Clb Euan Henderson, cabi¬ 
net member with respurisibili 
ty for leisure, said: "There are 
two super centres that serve a 
marvellous purpose lor Ihe 
yxiung people ol Mill on 
Keynes and we want that to 
continue. 

"In both cases, but particu¬ 
larly at Caldecotte, there is 
quite a lot ol spare capacity 
that cuuld he sold into the 
market. This could help to 
keep their exists down lor Ihe 
txium.il and reduce cost to the 
tax payer." 1

With traffic lights: Computer generated image of projected traffic flow at Calverton/Fairways on H3 junction 


Lights the future say 
road planners 


BY LAURA HANNAM 

laura.hannam@mk-news.co.uk 

‘I AM convinced traffic lights are the 
right solution on the V4', Milton Keynes 
Council's cabinet member for transport, 
Cllr Chris Williams, has announced. 

Six sets of traffic lights are planned on 
the V4, Watling Street, as part of the plans 
for 6,500 houses in the Western 
Expansion Area (WEA), south of Stony 
Stratford. 

Several councillors have expressed con¬ 
cern that the signals will cause grid lock 
and turn neighbouring estates into rat 
runs as drivers try to avoid the queues. 

But transport planners at MK Council 
claim new data shows traffic lights will 
cut journey times dramatically when the 
new housing is built. 

The data, which was displayed at a press 
conference on Friday, showed that a jour¬ 
ney southbound from the HI Ridgeway 
down Watling Street to the H4 Dansteed 
Way, which took 3.6minutes last year, 
would take 12 minutes with roundabouts 
in 2016 but only half the time with sig¬ 
nalled junctions. 

Similarly a journey westbound along the 
H3 Monks Way from the A5 to the WEA 
took 1.5 minutes in 2007. In 2016 the data 
claims this would rise to 28 minutes if 
roundabouts were still in place, but only 
2.5 minutes if traffic lights were installed. 

The images showed traffic jams backing 
up right into the centre of Stony Stratford 
if roundabouts remained on the grid 
road. 

Cllr Chris Williams said: “I was one of 
the people that wanted roundabouts to 
remain and thought we could find a solu¬ 
tion but it is not the case here. 

“We are not suggesting that traffic lights 
are the sole solution to growing traffic 
problems in Milton Keynes, in other areas 
re-modelled roundabouts will do the job, 
but our primary objective is to keep 
Milton Keynes moving/' 

Transport planners said the traffic 



With roundabout: Computer generated 
image of projected traffic flow at 
Calverton/Fairways on H3 junction 


lights, which were approved during the 
outline planning application stage, will 
use modern technology to constantly col¬ 
lect data and readjust to find the best way 
of working. 

Kevin Whiteside, chief highways and 
transport engineer, added: “This is a tech¬ 
nical solution to a technical challenge. 

“When we talk about traffic signals 
everyone thinks of the ones here in the 
city centre and, if they were there, they 
would cause problems, but these are dif¬ 
ferent.” 

“If this wasn't Milton Keynes the idea 
that traffic signals work would not be met 
with such big surprise.'' 

Developer Gallagher Estates, which 
became a partner with Milton Keynes 
Council in the WEA after purchasing the 
land interests in the area last year, hopes 
to begin work on the development in 
May/June this year. 

The transport data is set to be available 
to view on Milton Keynes Council's web¬ 
site this week.

Lawnmower death: Rev Handa Shonin 


Coroner in call for 
monk death pair 
to come forward 

A COUPLE who tried to save a Buddhist 
monk from dying under a lawn mower 
could hold valuable information about 
what happened. 

HM Coroner for Milton Keynes is 
appealing for the pair to contact his 
officers as they may be able to help an 
inquest into the death of 50-year-old 
Reverend Gyosei Handa. 

The chief monk died on Tuesday, 
August 21 after becoming trapped 
under the lawn mower he had been 
using to cut the grass at the Peace 
Pagoda at Willen Lake. 

It is believed that a couple, who were 
walking in the grounds, ran to the assis¬ 
tance of the monk and tried to help. 

However, they left the scene before 
police officers could take their details. 

Rev Handa was best known for his 
annual Hiroshima Day lantern cere¬ 
monies and helped to build the Peace 
Pagoda in 1980 - the first to be built in 
the western hemisphere. 

The circumstances surrounding the 
death have been investigated by the 
Health and Safety Executive. 

The inquest is due to start in Lebruary 
and Coroner Rodney Corner has urged 
the couple to contact Milton Keynes 
Coroner's office on 08458 505505.

era’ as he retires at the end of 
April after ten years at the top 


BY ROB GJBS0N

THE chairman of Milton 
Keynes Hospital Trust has 
declared a ‘new era’ as he 
announced his retirement. 

Mike Rowlands has worked 
at the hospital for 10 years 
and witnessed a host of 
changes that have shaped 
health care in Milton Keynes. 

Last week the 65-year-old 
announced his retirement as 
chairman of Milton Keynes 
Hospital NHS Loundation 
Trust, with effect from the 
end of April. 

Mike said: “It's a new era for 
the trust. This is a good 
opportunity for someone else 
to come in and bring a fresh 
perspective to things. 

“My private timescale for 
retirement had actually been 
for December last year but 
foundation trust status was 
delayed and I was deter¬ 
mined to stay until we got it. 

“The achievement of foun¬ 
dation status means that 


local people and staff can 
now have a real say in the way 
that their hospital is run and 
the manner that healthcare 
services are delivered. 

“Over the past ten years the 
hospital has gone from 
strength to strength and there 
has been a real improvement 
in the reduction of waiting 
times, which has positively 
impacted on patient care. 

“I shall miss the organisa¬ 
tion and all the friends Tve 
made here." 

Mike will continue his role 
as governor of two local 
schools and will retain his 
post as Mental Health Act 
manager for the local PCT. 

A statement from Milton 
Keynes Hospital said: “Both 
Sir fohn Southby Bt and Mike 
Rowlands will be missed by 
staff from across the trust." 

Non-executive director Sir 
fohn Southby Bt, who joined 
the trust in 2000 and was 
appointed as deputy chair¬ 
man in 2003, is also set to 
retire at the end of March.

Call for ban 
on cinema 
booze ads 

AN MP is calling for a 
changed to the law that 
allows adverts for alcohol 
to be broadcast in cine¬ 
mas before films with a 
lower than 18 certificate. 

The move by MP Mark 
Lancaster comes in 
response to growing con¬ 
cerns at the level of 
teenage anti-social behav¬ 
iour in the city. 

He asked a 

Parliamentary question 
which confirmed that the 
loophole in the law still 
exists. 

Mr Lancaster said: “It 
seems inconsistent that 
having taken the trouble 
to certify which films 
should or should not be 
watched by minors we are 
then allowing alcohol to 
be advertised before some 
films with a lower than 18 
certificate. 

“I am certainly not sug¬ 
gesting that a change of 
the rules will be the ‘silver 
bullet’ to solve all of our 
problems with binge 
drinking and anti-social 
behaviour but it would be 
another step in the right 
direction.” 

A voluntary code is in 
place by the industry 
restricting the advertising 
of alcohol before films 
with the lowest certifi¬ 
cates but the code does 
not apply to all films with¬ 
out an 18 certificate.

Who will deal 
with your affairs 
and welfare if you 
can’t? Don’t lose 
your right to 
choose your 
Attorney by 
waiting until its 
too late. 



From the 1st October 2007 the Enduring Power of Attorney 
(EPA) has been replaced with a revised type of power called a 
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). However, EPAs made prior 
to 1st October will continue to be valid. 

The LPA has now replaced the EPA as one of the most 
important legal protection mechanisms for your future. Indeed 
having an LPA in place is just as important as making a Will 
because it affects you during your lifetime. The benefit of the 
LPA is that it will allow you and your family the certainty of 
knowing who will deal with your affairs and personal welfare 
if you become incapable of making decisions about these things 
yourself. Moreover, you will have the comfort of knowing that 
the Attorney dealing with your affairs is the person of your 
choice and not someone whom the Court chooses to appoint on 
your behalf. 

Unlike the EPA, an LPA will need to be registered with the 
Court of Protection before it may be used by your attorney (s). 
A person can make two types of LPA. 

A Property and Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) 
allows you to plan ahead by choosing one or more people to 
make decisions on your behalf regarding your property and 
financial affairs. 

You can appoint a property and affairs Attorney to manage your 
finances and property whilst you still have capacity as well as 
when you lack capacity. Lor example, it may be easier for you 
to give someone the power to carry out tasks such as paying 
your bills if you find it difficult to get about. Please note that 
the document has to be registered before it can be used. 

A personal Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to 
plan ahead by choosing one or more people to make decisions 
on your behalf regarding your personal healthcare and welfare. 

We also participate in the Institute of Cancer Research Will for 
Lree Scheme. 

As you can see the protection offered by an LPA can be 
invaluable. Please contact us today to see how we can help.

’m no stick-in-the-mud 



Every fortnight 
dozens of 4x4 dri¬ 
vers from far and 
wide gather in wet, 
muddy fields near 
Whaddon to test 
their vehicles to the 
extreme. MK NEWS 
reporter Laura 
Hannam joined 
them to see 
whether her driving 
skills would hold up 


I KNEW I was in for a rough ride the 
moment I arrived at Barn Hill Farm, 
near Whaddon, and pulled up behind 
a long queue of very muddy 4x4s. 

And as I met Carl Hardwicke, who 
was to be my instructor for the day, 
his first words were that this was not 
your average off-roading, this was 
‘extreme’. 

And he was not wrong. 

Carl started by driving his specially 
adapted Landrover Discovery out into 
the fields up a severely steep hill cov¬ 
ered in mud, which we were slipping 
and sliding all over. 

At this point I was wondering 
whether I really wanted to do this. 

When we reached the top we came 
upon a huge expanse of mud in which 
several 4x4s were spinning round in 
circles. 

Here Carl gave me my first experi¬ 
ence of a doughnut - and not the sug¬ 
ary kind. It was petrifying as I still did 
not trust the Landrover not to topple 
over. 

Then it was my turn. I have never 
driven anything bigger than a Ford 
Escort before so first I got used to my 
machine by taking it across the fields 
and bombing through a wide expanse 
of fairly shallow water. 

I’m one of those people that aims for 
the puddles on roads so that was great 
fun. 

Then we were off around the fields. 
Here Carl explained that the only rule 
was that there were no rules. 

You simply had to try to get through 
the obstacles without getting stuck 
and try to avoid hitting the other 
dozens of 4x4s while you do it. 

Carl took me through ditches of 
water five foot deep which reached 
over the bonnet, over a scarily steep 
mound which I refused to do more 


than once and through thick, slippery 
mud where you could easily lose con¬ 
trol of the vehicle. 

Through all of this I am proud to say 
I did not get the 4X4 stuck once. 

In fact during the hour and a half I 
was driving I pulled out three other 
drivers, one of which had lost a wheel 
in a deep pool of water. 

As the time went on I grew to trust 
the Landrover and really respect the 
way it has been designed to literally 
get through anything. 

And by the end of my go I was spin¬ 
ning round the skid pan doing dough¬ 
nuts perfectly happy. 

I think this is a fantastically insane 
hobby. It really tickled me seeing the 
drivers buzzing round, getting stuck, 
pulling each other out, buzzing round 
and getting stuck again. 

It was also really sociable as all the 
drivers help each other out and many 
even bring their children along. 


Carl, who owns a 4x4 parts business 
in Cranfield, explained that it is not 
that hard to get involved in as many 
drivers bring their on-road vehicles 
with off-road tyres. 

However this is obviously risky as 
they tend to get damaged, so Carl 
advised new starters to buy a cheap 
MOT failure and adapt it where possi¬ 
ble. 

“Some people buy theirs off ebay,” 
he said. 

Barn Hill Farm opens up its fields for 
4x4 off-roading once a fortnight on a 
Sunday and charges £20 per vehicle. 

For more information call 01908 
501750.

roading parts business visit R & C,

Pre-fab boxes: New homes at Kingsmead South 

Council will 
object to 
‘space-age’ 
new homes 


BY LAURA HANNAM 

laura.hannam@mk-news.co.uk 

RESIDENTS in Kingsmead are 
angry that ‘space-age, pre-fab 
like boxes’ could be built near 
their homes. 

Shenley Brook End and 
Tattenhoe Parish Council is set 
to object to a detailed applica¬ 
tion for the first stage of a 
development south of 
Kingsmead as it considers the 
housing is ‘inappropriate’. 

Outline planning permission 
for 460 dwellings was granted 
to Lagan Homes by Milton 
Keynes Partnership in 2006 
and detailed proposals for the 
first phase, including 160 
dwellings, have now been sub¬ 
mitted. 

Cllr Keith Thomas, a resident 
of Kingsmead, said: “Local res¬ 
idents were led to believe that 
the new development would 
be sympathetically designed 
to blend with housing in 
Kingsmead which is a tradi¬ 
tional, villagey style with lots 
of different designs.” 

“The first 160 houses they are 
due to start on are modern and 
couldn’t be any less sympa¬ 
thetic with the existing build¬ 
ings. 

“They are space-age, pre-fab 
like boxes in various shades of 
grey and black with flat roofs.” 

“We are not protesting 
against the development, as 
we have known this would be 


happening for up to four years, 
but against the lack of compat¬ 
ibility of the houses.” 

A spokesman for Milton 
Keynes Partnership said the 
development has been 
designed to build on the aspi¬ 
ration that Milton Keynes is 
‘the city that thinks differently, 
embraces evolution and 
champions change’. 

“Kingsmead South is an 
exciting development which is 
championing contemporary 
design,” she said. 

“Its relationship with tradi¬ 
tional housing in Kingsmead 
North is acknowledged and 
the current scheme proposes a 
more traditional style of devel¬ 
opment where it fronts 
Whaddon Road. 

“On this part of the site hous¬ 
es will be constructed of more 
traditional building materials 
including the use of orange or 
red brickwork and dark grey, 
red or brown roof tiles. 

“These more traditional 
shaped homes will incorporate 
pitched roofs with a blend of 
contemporary elements.” 

Milton Keynes Partnership is 
currently holding a public con¬ 
sultation on the proposals. The 
deadline for responses is 
January 31. 

If permission is granted, 
work will start on the site in 
April with the first residents 
moving in towards the end of 
2008. 


Poppy Appeal breaks records 


A RECORD-BREAKING sum of 
more than £50,000 was given 
to the Poppy Appeal by shop¬ 
pers in the centre:mk this year. 

Volunteers for the Royal 
British Legion collected 
£53,665 for the appeal in the 
fortnight at the end of October 
- £20,000 more than last year. 

Overall £110,000 was raised 
in Milton Keynes, up 10 per 
cent from the year before. 

Peter Boyle, Royal British 
Legion community fund raiser 


for Oxfordshire and Bucks, 
said: “This involved an incred¬ 
ible amount of work by the vol¬ 
unteers and tremendous gen¬ 
erosity from shoppers.” 

“And the money is needed as 
more and more calls are going 
to be made of the British 
Legion with the wars in 
Afghanistan and Iraq. 

“Men are coming back badly 
injured and they need to be 
supported for the next 30 or 40 
years.”

Housing office is set to 
close despite objections 



Vigil in vain: Demonstrators held a candlelit protest against closure of 
Bradville housing office outside the civic offices 


B Y ALIC IA BABAEE 

alicia.babaee@mk-news.co.uk 

BRADVILLE housing office had 
its fate sealed last week when a 
scrutiny panel decided it would 
definitely close. 

Campaigners who recently 
held a vigil outside the civic 
offices had called in the cabinet's 
decision to shut it. 

But at the a meeting last 
Thursday the scrutiny panel 
sided with the cabinet and said 
the closure would still go ahead. 

Services will relocate to the 
council's main offices on Silbury 
Boulevard, Central Milton 
Keynes. 

Previously MK NEWS reported 
that tenant representative 
Margaret Burke was shocked 
when a council leaflet announc¬ 
ing the closure landed on her 
doormat. 

The decision should not have 
been made until the meeting. 
Milton Keynes Council blamed 
it on an ‘administrative error'. 

Following the scrutiny meeting 
Mrs Burke said: “We put up a 
really good case which highlight¬ 
ed shortfalls of their so-called 
consultation and the very poorly 
worded survey - which went to 
Netherfield housing office ten¬ 
ants as well which must have 
skewed the figures. 

“There is now a considerable 


north-south divide with no 
housing office in the north of 
Milton Keynes and three in the 
south. 

“They have said they will have a 
drop-in service in the area; this 
did not work when they shut 
down Greenleys office, after just 
a few months they closed the 
drop-in facility. With so many 
home visits that will be needed, 
nobody will be able to speak to 
their local officer if they tele¬ 
phone or visit the civic offices." 


The decision to close it was 
made on the basis that numbers 
are dwindling and the building is 
deteriorating. 

The council says a postal sur¬ 
vey showed that Bradville is not 
convenient for the majority of 
tenants in the north area and 
that people prefer to telephone 
the council if they need to raise 
an issue and to receive a 
response by mail. 

Speaking previously Cllr Irene 
Henderson, cabinet member 


- Cllr Irene 
Henderson 

with responsibility for housing, 
said: “It serves a very large area 
of the city and is not well placed 
for public transport so is not eas¬ 
ily accessible. 

“Only 11 people actually pop 
into that office a week, they are 
our latest figures. It isn't actually 
value for money." 

Cllr Sandra Clark, cabinet 
member for children, has sug¬ 
gested housing office services 
could be provided at children's 
centres across the city. 



The lifebuoy at the layby near Emberton Park lake where 
Janet Reid abandoned her mobility scooter 


Body in the lake identified 


THE body of a woman 
found at the lake in 
Emberton Country Park 
has been formally identi¬ 
fied as 63-year-old Janet 
Reid. 

A police diving team dis¬ 
covered her body floating 
in the fishing lake shortly 
after 7am on Tuesday after 
a member of the public 
reported finding a mobili¬ 
ty scooter at a layby next 


to the lake. 

An inquest into the 
death of Mrs Reid, from 
Hulton Drive, Emberton, 
is yet to be scheduled. 

Police are treating the 
death as unexplained and 
a post mortem will take 
place later this week. 

Anyone with informa¬ 
tion should call Milton 
Keynes CID on 08458 
505505.

Parks custodian 
looks for trustees 


MILTON Keynes’ parks are some 
of the city’s greatest assets. 

The Parks Trust cares for 4,500 
acres of parkland and green 
spaces. It is responsible for the 
major parks in the city including 
Campbell Park, Willen Lake, 
Caldecotte Lake, Linford Wood, 
the Ouzel Valley and many more. 

The trust is looking for volunteer 
trustees who care passionately 
about Milton Keynes and want to 
play a part in enhancing and 
expanding the parks at a time 


when there is massive growth 
planned for Milton Keynes. 

As well as creating and maintain¬ 
ing inspirational landscapes, the 
charity provides environmental 
education and organises over 200 
community events in the parks 
every year. 

As an independent charity, fund¬ 
ed completely through its proper¬ 
ty and investments The Parks 
Trust is not only the biggest 
landowner but also one of the 
largest commercial landlords in 


the city. Its breadth of activity

Milko planning gay 
home shop parties 


BY ALICIA BABAEE 

alicia.babaee@mk-news.co.uk 

A MILKMAN is one half of a pair 
bringing shopping parties for the 
gay community to Milton 
Keynes. 

The two young entrepreneurs, 
the other is a care worker, have set 
up an online adult sex shop and 
are offering party nights in the 
comfort of your own home. 

Frisky Friends follows in the 
footsteps of Ann Summers parties 
and the more traditional 
Tupperware parties. 

The host offers up their home 
and invites their friends to a party 
during which a party planner 
arranges games and shows the 
goods that are on offer. 

Partygoers can then try out and 
buy the products if they wish. 

In this case the party plan format 
has been specifically designed to 
appeal to the gay, lesbian, bisexu¬ 
al and transgender community. 

Care worker Craig Borrett, 24, 
and milkman Zoltan Papp, 30, are 
tapping into a market that they 
feel has previously not been 
touched. 

Frisky Friends promises a wide 
range of products and a prompt 
delivery service. 

Mr Borrett, from Fishermead, 
said: “There is an obvious need for 
such a company in the area, espe¬ 
cially as online shops aimed at the 
specific target group seemed to 
crank up prices. At FriskyFriends 



Craig Borrett from Frisky Friends with glow in the dark handcuffs 


we're different. We believe in offer¬ 
ing great products at excellent 
prices, some much cheaper than 
any high street store." 

Wolverton milkman Mr Papp 
added: “When I joked of opening a 
sex shop it seemed right due to the 
amount of fun we thought we 
could have. 

“We quickly progressed with the 
idea and decided to leave out the 
retail unit in order to limit initial 
start up costs. The gay and lesbian 


party planning is an area that we 
would like to emphasise to our 
customers as we believe 
friskyfriends.co.uk is unique and 
unrivalled by its competitors 
within this field." 

To arrange a party or to view the 
products available log on to 
www.friskyfriends.co.uk 

Alternatively, email 

party@friskyfriends.co.uk and 
someone will be in touch to talk 
through the details.

MILTON Keynes Council 
is one of the few local 
authorities in the UK to 
compost leaves once 
they are swept off the 
streets. 

During the autumn 
months between late 
September and 

December more than 
141 tonnes of leaves were 
collected by dedicated 
collection crews using 
manual methods. 

Leaves littering the city 
pavements, especially 
when wet, can be a slip 
hazard to pedestrians so 
most local councils have 
a clearance programme 
during the autumn 
months. 

The leaves are sent to 
local farms for compost¬ 
ing as part of the coun¬ 
cil's campaign to remove 
organic waste from land¬ 
fill. 

This autumn two main 
crews were used to col¬ 
lect leaves by hand for 
composting recycled 



more than 144 tonnes - 
double last year’s total 
due to an earlier season¬ 
al start than normal. 

Council cleansing 
manager Tina Lucas said: 
“Recycling is a vital part 
of our litter collection 
strategy so composting 
the leaves was a natural 


thing for us to do. 

“We already operate a 
recycling scheme for our 
street litter pickers who 
separate waste collected 
in this way for recycling. 

“We also introduced a 
green waste recycling 
scheme to households in 
Milton Keynes where we 


pick up grass cuttings 
and other garden waste 
every fortnight. 

“This means we have in 
place the ability to com¬ 
post this waste so adding 
leaves collected as part 
of the litter collection 
was an easy step for us to 
take.”

Library refurb will 
open new chapter 


HOW THE WORK WILL AFFECT BORROWERS 

Monday, 

February 4 
until 

Saturday, March 1 

■ Service downstairs (in 
Local Studies Department) 
and upstairs (by back 
stairs) 

■ Entrance by side and 
back doors 

■ Thursday and Friday 6- 
8pm only on ground floor 
(Local Studies Department) 

■ Limited computer access 

■ No Reference Library 

■ No children's activities 

Monday, March 3 
and Tuesday, 

March 4 

■ Service by telephone and 
email only 

■ Library closed to visitors. 



A MAJOR facelift for the city’s 
central library will start next 
month to make the building 
brighter and more accessible. 

During the works the library will 
open as usual but some areas will 
have restricted service during the 
improvements. 

The library will be closed to visi¬ 
tors for just two days during the 
work on March 3 and 4 but will 
still offer a service via email and 
phone call for enquiries and 
renewals. 

Staff have worked hard with 
contractors and advisers to keep 
as much of the library open as 
possible while the work is going 
on. 

From February there will be 
access to the Local Studies Library 
on the ground floor, with a small 
range of books to borrow as well 
as the usual facilities. 

The Reference Library on the 
ground floor will be closed to visi¬ 
tors but a limited reference 
enquiry service will run from the 
Local Studies Library including 
access to the journal and newspa¬ 
per collection. 

The upstairs adult and children’s 
departments will only be accessi¬ 
ble by stairs at the back of the 
building. 

Cllr Euan Henderson,cabinet 
member responsible for the 
library service, said: Tn the 26 
years since it was open over 30 
million pairs of feet have come 


through its doors. 

“So now it is time to refresh and 
modernise it. 

“This will be good news in the 
medium term, and we are sorry 
for any inconvenience to cus¬ 
tomers in the short term.” 


Once the work is completed 
there will be an area for people to 
sit and enjoy a cup of coffee as 
well as computers in the lobby 
area for people who want to 
quickly check something on the 
Internet as they are passing.

Aiming high: Newton Faulkner’s Unplugged and Airbourne gig in the Virgin hot air balloon above the Swiss Alps 


Has your sweet 
relationship... 



Balloonist blasts hot radio waves 
in a world’s-first gig in the sky 


A HOT air balloonist who usually 
flies passengers over Milton 
Keynes has steered a singer-song¬ 
writer to a world first, thousands 
of feet above the Swiss Alps. 

Kenneth Karlstrom, Virgin 
Balloon Flights’ chief pilot, flew 
the huge 100ft tall Virgin balloon 
as dreadlocked singer Newton 
Faulkner played to 13 lucky pas¬ 
sengers. 

Kenneth can normally be seen 
piloting the champagne balloon 
flights in a MK NEWS-sponsored 
balloon from Willen Lake. 


Brit Award nominee still managed 
to pull off a dazzling performance 
which was recorded for Virgin 
Radio. 

The gig was punctuated by loud 
blazes as father of two Kenneth 
fired the balloon’s burners, while 
the high altitude and cold temper¬ 
atures meant Newton had to con¬ 
tinually warm up his hands and 
retune his guitar in order to pull 
off his light-fingered guitar play¬ 
ing. 

The gig was hosted by Virgin 
Balloon Flights and was the first 


all over the world, said: “Every hot 
air balloon flight is an unforget¬ 
table experience but this has to be 
in my top 10 and I’ve been flying 
for nearly 30 years. Newton is a 
fantastic performer and it was a 
dream come true for everyone on 
board.” 

Virgin Radio DJ Ben Jones hosted 
the gig and interviewed Newton 
high above the clouds. Speaking 
during the gig Newton, who was 
23 on the day, said: “I’ve done all 
kinds of gigs in all kinds of places 
including a moving train but this 


...turned sour?

Milton Keynes Council 



Your money, your choice: 

Budget consultation 2008/09 


Calling all borough residents - now's your chance to tell us what you think about the Council's budget proposals for the coming year. 

The budget affects every resident of Milton Keynes as it sets the level of Council Tax and decides the level of services that you receive 
from the Council. To help us make the right decisions the Council wants to hear your views on our proposals. 

This year we are asking for your views not just on the Liberal Democrat Cabinet's proposals, but also proposals from the Conservative 
and Labour opposition parties where they differ from the Cabinet. This is to reflect the political balance of the Council. 

The Council's Cabinet is proposing a Council Tax increase of 3.9%. The rise in council tax means an increase of £39.65 per year, or 
just over 76p per week, on an average Band D property. 

In order to keep Council Tax as low as possible and to minimise the impact on services, the Cabinet is proposing efficiency savings 
of £3.7m. 

We are also proposing to invest in services that the public have told us are important. These include tackling crime and anti-social 
behaviour; activities for young people; continuing the litter busters team and raising educational standards at GCSE level. 

The Council is carrying out consultation on the detailed budget proposals and proposed Council Tax levels until 4th February 2008. 

What you tell us will help us to make the final decisions on the budget. The final budget, including Council Tax levels, will be proposed 
by Cabinet on 19th February and agreed by Full Council on 26th February. Both meetings are open to the public. 

We would like your views on those savings that affect services and on the proposed investment in services. You can respond using the 
response form opposite and return it to the FREEPOST address by 4th February 2008 - you could win £50 in gift vouchers! 

If you would like to know more, there is a consultation leaflet that explains more about the budget and Council Tax and outlines what 
our proposals for next year are. The leaflet will be available in all main Council offices, libraries and at various community locations 
across Milton Keynes. 

Alternatively, you can: 

• Go to our website: www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/budget-consultation 

• Send an e-mail to: budget@milton-keynes.gov.uk

COMPETITION 


Win free kids’ tuition at 
Express Learning Centre 



MK Mayoress Cheryl and Mayor Mike Barry with Lola Alii of the 
Express Learning Centre 


HOWTO ENTER 


A MOTHER from Bradwell 
Common has set up a value 
tutoring service for children to 
help with their school studies. 

To celebrate the launch of the 
Express Learning Centre, Lola 
Alii has teamed up with MK 
NEWS to offer one lucky reader 
free tuition for their child for 
three months, worth £255. 

The centre, which launched on 
Saturday January 12, teaches 
groups of up to ten children 
aged nine to 16, giving them 
extra help for subjects including 
maths, English and science. 

Special support is also avail¬ 
able when SATs, entrance exams 
or GCSEs are looming. 

Mrs Alii said she hopes stu¬ 
dents will benefit from having 
additional help away from the 
school environment. 

"I have kids who are in their 
teens,” she said. “The trend is 
that in class they don't want to 
put their hands up because they 
feel they will look like a boffin in 
class, in their own words.” 

The sessions run on Saturday 
mornings from 10am until 2pm 
at Foundation House, Aylesbury 
Street, Wolverton. 

They cost £65 for a month for 
maths and English tuition and, 
an extra £20 to add science. 

For more information visit the 
website at www.expresslearn- 
ingcentre.com or call 01908 
690629. 


TO be in with a chance of winning 
three months tuition for your child 
answer this question: How many 
children at most will be taught in 
each group at the Express 
Learning Centre? 

Send your answer along with your 
name, address, and telephone 
number to MKNEWS, 1 Diamond 


Court, Fox Milne, Milton Keynes, 
MK15 0DU, or email 
competitions@mk-news.co.uk. 
Closing date January 30. Editor’s 
decision is final. 

The starting date for the 
competition winner would be a 
Saturday between February 2 and 
March 1 2008.

CHASING PAVEMENTS 


Adele 

n 

¥ 


YOU know when you hear a song that’s 
really well done, but somehow you just 
can’t get to actually like it? 

Hello, Adele. 

She’s got a really good voice, there’s no 
doubt about that, and you’ll hear far worse 
debut singles than this. Not only that, but 
the backing band (and it is a proper band 
too, with trumpets and drums) does its bit 
to make the whole thing sound, well, really 
rather accomplished as it happens but my 
personal tastes don’t quite extend as far 
as slow soul music. 

I’ve been told before I have no soul, so 
maybe that explains it. I won’t complain if 
it’s a hit, in fact it deserves to do well, it’s 
just that this song just doesn’t do it for 
me. 

SUNSHINE IN THE RAIN 

BWO 


HAVE you seen the video to this one? It’s 
very strange. 

The singer keeps looking at his hands 
throughout, and he’s either a) wondering 
what they are or b) wondering who’s put 
the big round stickers on them. Then it 
cuts to a couple of blokes gleefully whack¬ 
ing stickers on each other’s heads. The 
whole thing’s more OCD than BWO, but it’s 
precisely the sort of thing our 
Scandinavian friends can get away with. 

If a British pop group did a video like 
that, there’d be lots of winking at the cam¬ 
era, as if to say to the audience ‘Yeah, we 
know what we’re doing is complete and 
utter bobbins, but it’s a laugh innit?’, 
whereas BWO play the whole thing 
straight, as if there’s some hugely signifi¬ 
cant meaning to what essentially amounts 
to buying a load of stickers from WH Smith 
and larking about with them. 

Oh, and there’s also a song that goes 
with the video. 



ANYONE WHO HAD A 
HEART 

Atomic Kitten 



OH good. They’re back. 

The same band that ruthlessly hunted 
down and slaughtered The Tide Is High 
and Ladies Night among others have now 
set their sights on another classic. 

Apparently, one of this year’s European 
Capitals of Culture - no, not Stavanger, the 
other one - has had a few of its locals do 
rather well in the Hit Parade over the 
years, so an album’s being brought out to 
celebrate and hey presto, Atomic Kitten 
draw the short straw to cover a Cilia Black 
chart-topper. 

On the face of it, you’d be entitled to 
wonder how short that particular straw 
was. 

Now, I know it’s easy to criticise their 
music, and God knows they’ve been only 
too willing to provide the ammunition over 
the years, but this is a marked departure 
from their earlier stuff. 

For a start, their singing’s improved quite 
dramatically (and surprisingly), and for 
another thing, this isn’t the usual anodyne 
midtempo ditty that they used to put out at 
the height of their success. 

Yeah, fair enough it’s another slowie, but 
if you didn’t know who this was you’d 
never guess. 

Everyone concerned has put the hours in 
here and no mistake and, well, they’ve 
earned this from me. 

Well done, Atomic Kitten. 

First, Nickelback, now this. 

I must have travelled into a parallel uni¬ 
verse where black is white or something. 

I hope not, because zebra crossings’ 
would be a nightmare.

Leftover Crack, Mustard Plug, The

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE 

January 28- February 2 

BASED on the best selling mys¬ 
tery novel of all time, Agatha 
Christie’s own stage adaptation of 
this dark and captivating tale will 
thrill and enthral as murder 
unfolds.

Jeremy Edwards (Holby City and 
Hollyoaks), Denis Lill (The Royal) 
and Peter Byrne (Dixon of Dock 
Green). 

HOBSONS CHOICE 

February 4 -9 

ONE of the great English comedies 
a hugely funny and touching drame 
that features a host of rich and 
wonderfully written characters. 

Set in Salford in 1880, cantan¬ 
kerous and obstinate Henry 


Horatio Hobson, played by John 
Savident (Fred Elliot in 
Coronation Street) runs a success¬ 
ful bootmakers shop. 

A widower with a weakness for a 
drink or two, he tries to get the 
better of his three irrepressibly 
bumptious daughters. 

When he decrees no marriages 
to avoid the expensive matter of a 
dowry, eldest daughter Maggie 
rebels and sets her sights on her 
father’s master bootmaker - the 
exceedingly shy Will Mossop.

All you can see, hear and feel for a fiver 


TICKETS are still available for a 
colourful festival of creativity taking 
place at Milton Keynes Theatre on 
Saturday 

Following a long and successful 
panto season the theatre will open 
its doors for one afternoon on 
January 25 from 2pm until 8pm to 
offer performances, workshops, 
insights, tours, exhibitions, music 
and activities. 

The performers range from 
Sophie Woolley, a comic actress res¬ 
ident at the Soho Theatre in 
London; 1623 Theatre Company 
with their version of the seven 
deadly sins in Sinful Shaxxxpeare 
and no-holds-Bard funny bits in 
Stand-up Shakespeare; to local 
artists such as all-female Milton 
Keynes dance group Sleek. 

Families, children and young peo¬ 
ple are invited to watch and take 
part in the activities that will take 
place around the building. 

Education and outreach manager 
Jodie Gibson said: “The education 
team are hugely excited about host¬ 
ing this new initiative, which is 
using both professional and non¬ 
professional musicians, performers 
and artists of all ages to create and 
celebrate creativity. 


“Our aim is to offer a different 
experience for people visiting the 
theatre, rather then the usual‘buy a 
ticket, sit in the auditorium and 
watch a performance on stage’ sce¬ 
nario. Instead we wanted to create 
something different and with more 
than 200 people involved, offering 
dance, drama, new writing, comedy 
sketches, live music, workshops, 
exhibitions and tours, we hope 
there will be plenty on offer for 
everyone.”

TASTEUFE 



THE BLACK HORSE 

Woburn 

Reviewed by David Gale 

FROM the outside The Black Horse 
gives the impression of a tiny restau¬ 
rant because of its terraced frontage. 

However, once inside, the building 
stretches back deceptively and is 
both warming and welcoming. 

The emphasise is on quality food 
and the menu reflects that, free- 
range chicken and pork, 28-day dry- 
aged Aberdeenshire beef and sea¬ 
sonal British produce wherever pos¬ 
sible. 

My partner and I opted for a very 
novel start to the evening by choos¬ 
ing the Deli board. This is an excel¬ 
lent way to start any meal and gives 
diners the chance to pick items of 


cheese, cold meats, fish, pickles, 
dips and bread from a large selec¬ 
tion at £1.60 an item. Alternatively 
you can opt for the pub choosing a 
selection for you at £8, which is 
what we did. Our board included 
chorizo, Somerset Brie, smoked 
mackerel pate and hot smoked 
salmon along with a selection of 
pickles and bread. 

There is also a selection of other 
starters including ham hock terrine 
with pickled onions (£5), home 
made soup of the day (£4) and a 
winter risotto (£5 starter, £9.50 
main) 

For our main course I chose the 
rump cap steak (£14.50) which was 
a beautiful cut of meat accompa¬ 
nied by chips and a green pepper¬ 


corn sauce. My partner chose from 
the specials board and was not dis¬ 
appointed with her braised lamb 
shank and wholegrain mustard 
mash. 

Other mains included free-range 
chicken breast, saute cabbage, 
maple-cured bacon with chestnut 
cream (£12.50), fillets of seas bass, 
wilted spinach and mushrooms with 
thyme butter (£12.50) and irish lamb 
stew with rustic bread (£10.50. 

For dessert we opted for a home¬ 
made apple crumble and custard ( 
£5) and a refreshing vanilla panna- 
cotta with winter berries (£5) 

The Black Horse is only a stone’s 
throw from Milton Keynes and 
offers quality cooked fresh food in a 
good, not stuffy, atmosphere.

City is tops for 
rail commuters 



MILTON Keynes is the perfect 
place to live if you are a cash- 
strapped commuter according to 
a new report. 

Moving to the city and travelling 
to work in London instead could 
save you nearly £7,000 a year the 
report by the Mortgage Advice 
Bureau claims. 

Commuting from MK saves you 
money despite the recent infla¬ 
tion-busting rises in train fares. 

The report says the extra spent 
on rail travel would be more than 
outweighed by lower mortgage 
costs compared with living in 
London and using a Travelcard. 

The report compares the costs 
between a £175,000 home in MK 
and a £355,000 home in London. 
The MK home had a mortgage 
repayment of £866 compared to 
one in London of £1,700 and is 53 


miles from the capital, travel costs 
are £424 making a total saving of 
£550. 

Brian Murphy of the Mortgage 
Advice Bureau, which commis¬ 
sioned the report, said: “House- 
price growth in London over the 
last year has been large, although 
the market is expected to contin¬ 
ue cooling in 2008. 


“However, those living in com¬ 
muter towns still remain finan¬ 
cially better off, large rail-fare 
increases can be offset against the 
house price and mortgage savings 
still to be made by those willing to 
commute into London from fur¬ 
ther afield.” 

Bedford was in second spot with 
a £532 total saving. 


Shoppers set record at thecentre:mk 


SHOPPERS helped make it a 
record breaking year for thecen- 
tre:mk this Christmas. 

Stores reported taking £1,000 a 
minute on their busiest day, 
December 27, with 190,000 people 
visiting the shopping centre on 
that day alone. 

It is believed there were one mil¬ 
lion visitors to the centre in the 
week leading up to Christmas. 


Christmas Eve and Boxing Day 
sales increased by 23 per cent and 
11 per cent against last year’s 
results. 

On December 27, Next opened 
at 5 am and M&S at 6 am with cus¬ 
tomers queing from 3.30 am. 

Robert Goodman, director at 
thecentreimk said: “While 

December started slowly, the run 
up to Christmas saw shoppers 


coming out en masse with a 
record week of a million people. 

“The sales built on that momen¬ 
tum with shoppers attracted by 
the major store offers at thecen- 
tre:mk generating our biggest ever 
footfall in a single day.” 

thecentre:mk also attracted 
more than 20,000 children to 
Santa’s grotto this year - 900 chil¬ 
dren visited on its busiest day.

Booze blues 


WHEN employees were asked why 
they had taken spurious sick leave 
over the last year, the hangover came 
out as the top reason. 

Just under one fifth of the UK work¬ 
force admitted they had taken time 
off work after drinking. 

This is according to the Sickness 
Absence Survey 2007 by leading dis¬ 
ability insurer Unum. 

A much lower proportion of older 
respondents had taken sick leave due 
to over-indulgence with only six per 
cent of 55-64 year olds admitting that 
this was a reason for sickness absence 
over the past year. 

This contrasts significantly with 
younger employees in the 16-24 year 
old age group, where more than a 
third admitted to taking off time due 
to alcohol-related sickness. 

People living in Scotland are most 
likely to take sick days off for hang¬ 
overs, with almost a quarter of 
Scottish employees admitting they 
had done this in the last year. 

By contrast, workers in the Midlands 
and the South East are the least likely 
to take time off due to intemperance, 
with only 17 per cent of employees in 
these regions admitting that they had 


done so. 

Family and relationship disputes 
came out as the second most highly 
quoted reason for taking unsanc¬ 
tioned time off work, with 15 per cent 
of workers stating this was the case. 

This was closely followed with 
employees taking time off to spend 
time with their partners (14 per cent). 

Only five per cent admitted to taking 
time off to watch a sporting event or 
to enjoy the weather. 

Professor Michael O’Donnell, chief 
medical officer at Unum, said: “These 
figures reinforce well-documented 
and worrying trends that people’s 
drinking habits are impacting on the 
workplace. And from a medical point 
of view this is particularly worrying, 
given that in 2005/06, there were 
187,640 NHS hospital admissions 
among adults aged 16 and over with 
diagnosis specifically related to alco¬ 
hol; this has more than doubled from 
89,280 in 1995/96. 

“It is vital that employees recognise 
that hangovers, and any resulting 
time off work, not only have serious 
consequences for their health and 
their families but can also seriously 
affect their careers.”

Outgoing, persuasive, chatty, 
organized, fun, talkative, confident, 
positive, self motivated. 


.these are the kinds of words used to describe our Advertising Sales team here at 

the MKNEWS (although other words are sometimes used!). If you’re outgoing, 
persuasive and fancy working in a busy but fun media environment this may be the 
perfect role for you! 

Office based 

Advertising Sales Advisors 

The MK News is part of lliffe News and Media Ltd and is one of the UK’s fastest growing 
regional newspapers. Having recently moved to new offices next to Willen lake in Milton 
Keynes we’re now looking to recruit two additional Sales Advisors to join our current busy 
team selling advertising solutions to local businesses. 

Sales experience is not necessary (although is always helpful), but a confident and 
persuasive personality coupled with excellent customer service and administration skills are 
very important. 

These two roles are predominantly office based, and would involve talking to existing and 
new customers about their marketing and advertising needs both on the telephone and face 
to face, therefore the ability to cold call is essential.. 

Candidates need to have an excellent telephone manner and be happy working within small 
teams and working to deadlines 

We offer.... 

• £12,000 - £15,000 per year basic (dependant on skills and experience) 

• Realistic and achievable bonus of £5,000 - £6,000 per year 

• 25 days holiday per year 

• Regular training and career development 

• Contributory Pension and Healthcare after qualifying period 


As a member 
of lliffe News 
& Media we 
also publish 
weekly 
newspapers 
and websites 
across Herts, 
Beds, Bucks, 
Cambs, Essex 
and the 
Midlands.

Conditions of Advertising 
LSN Media (the publisher) 


GENERAL 

1. The publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend any advertise¬ 
ment even though accepted and paid for and to make any alterations 
necessary to maintain standards of the newspaper. The publisher also 
declines responsibility for the omission of a single advertisement or one 
or more of a series of advertisements from any cause whatsoever, nor 
do they accept liability for any loss or damage caused by an error or 
inaccuracy in the printing of an advertisement. (Advertisers are advised 
to check their advertisement after the insertion). No re-insertions refund 
or adjustment will be made where an error, mis-print or omission does 
not materially detract from the advertisement. The Publisher may at its 
sole discretion re-insert the whole or part of the advertisement with cor¬ 
rections or refund part or the whole value of the advertisement. 

2. The publisher reserves the right to decline any advertisement without 
giving an explanation or which they deem the content unsuitable for 
publication, whether an order has been accepted or not. The publisher 
will not accept orders for advertisements which it deems offensive or 
defamatory or which infringe the Trades Description Act 1968 and The 
British Code of Advertising Standards Authority on such matters. 

3. An order for advertising services placed by an advertiser or an 
advertising agency on behalf of an advertiser constitutes an assurance 
that necessary authorisation or permission has been granted in respect 
of the use of the advertisement itself, pictorial representation of a living 
person, references made and words attributed to a living person and 
text which may be the subject of copyright protection. 

4. Printed conditions on advertisement orders will not be recognised as 
binding unless expressly accepted in writing by the publishers. 

5. Advertising rates involving a series, volume or prepayment discount 
are expressly for the use of the advertiser concerned and are not to 
divulged to a third party. 

6. All artwork designed by the LSN Studio remains the property of LSN 
Media. Where artwork services are provided, it is on the understanding 
that it is for the sole use in any of the LSN Media publications unless 
prior agreement is sought, any unauthorised reproduction will result in 
a charge being levied on the publisher concerned. 

7. Proofs of advertisements are provided upon request but cannot be 
guaranteed. Where a proof is supplied, the onus is on the recipient to 
check that all information is correct and to provide the publisher with 
any neccesary alterations or amendments before the expiration of the 
deadline. The publisher will not accept responsibility for errors in any 
advertisement where a proof is supplied and subsequently authorised 
for publication. 

8. Although every effort will be made to meet advertisers requirements, 
specified positions cannot be guaranteed within the newspaper. 

9. All advertisements which carry a premium telephone number must 
comply with the Code of Practice of The Independent Committee for 
the supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services 
(CSTIS). 

10. The advertiser (or his advertising agency) shall indemnify the pub¬ 
lisher in respect of all costs, damages or any other charges as the 
result of legal action or the threat of legal action arising from the pub¬ 
lisher of a single advertisement for a series of advertisements, pub¬ 
lished in accordance with copy instructions supplied to the publisher in 


pursuance of the advertiser or his advertising agency’s order. 

11. If an advertisement does not appear due to copy or artwork being 
supplied after the agreed deadline, the space will be payable in full at 
the published rates. 

12. A request to insert an advertisement assumes acceptance of our 
Terms & Conditions of Advertising. 

DISTRIBUTION 

1. Unless otherwise stated, distribution will normally take place within 
the specified publication to the individual addresses which usually 
receive the publication within the area and on the date scheduled. This 
does not necessarily imply 100% delivery to all addresses within the 
area. 

2. The publisher shall not be liable for total or partial non delivery of 
any publication in which an advertisement is scheduled to appear and 
no reinsertion, refund or adjustment will be made to the advertiser. 

BOX NUMBERS 

While every endeavour will be made to forward replies to box numbers 
to the advertiser as soon as possible, no liability will be accepted by the 
publisher in respect of any loss, damage or delay in forwarding such 
replies. 

CANCELLATION 

1. Cancellation of advertisements must be advised 24 hours prior to the 
booking deadline. If the publisher is unable to resell the space he 
reserves the right to charge for any loss of revenue incurred. 

2. If any advertiser in receipt of a series, volume or prepayment dis¬ 
count cancels before fulfilling the terms of the agreed order, the pub¬ 
lisher reserves the right to make a surcharge up to the full published 
rates for the type of advertisement. 

3. Queries concerning cancelled advertisements must be accompanied 
by the stop number given at the time of cancellation. 

PAYMENT 

1. Credit facilities are at the discretion of the publisher, but such facili¬ 
ties are limited to strict terms of 30 days. Late payment of account may 
lead to suspension of account facilities. Any discount which the publish¬ 
er may have agreed with the advertiser may be forfeit should the 
advertiser fail to meet the agreed credit terms. 

2. Prepaid accounts must be settled by no later than the two days prior 
to publication. The publisher reserves the right to suspend any adver¬ 
tisement where payment has not been received. 

3. Dishonoured cheques will incur a £20 administration fee. 

All rates are subject to VAT at the rate currently in force at the time of 
any advertisement is booked to appear. Recognised advertising agency 
is 10%

MKMOTORING 

Racking up the plus points 



IF you're going to buy a family 
hatchback that looks as futuristic as 
the Honda Civic, there's no point in 
spoiling the overall effect for the 
sake of a few hundred pounds. 

All that's lacking with the entry- 
level 1.4-litre version of this car is a 
few finishing touches. Alloy wheels 
perhaps. Plus metallic paint and 
some sporty addenda would be nice. 

The Civic SE+ supplies all this at an 
eye-catching sub-£15,000 asking 
price. 

To be more specific, the £14,900 
package runs to 16ins Atlas' alloy 
wheels, metallic paint in ‘Vivid Blue' 
or Alabaster Silver’ and an ‘Image 
Pack’ with colour-coded front, side 
and rear skirts, plus a body-coloured 
spoiler. 

That's in addition to the standard 
specification of all current 1.4-litre 
Civics which runs to power steering, 
central locking, remote keyless 
entry, twin front and side airbags, 
ABS with EBD, brake assist, electric 
heated mirrors, a height adjustable 
driver's seat, 60:40 split rear seats, a 
CD stereo, active head restraints, cli¬ 
mate control, a refrigerated glovebox 
and steering wheel-mounted audio 
controls. 

The 1.4-litre SE+ is available only 
in the five-door bodystyle. 

The 1.4-litre i-DSI engine used in 
the SE+ is an 82bhp unit that, like 
most Honda petrol units, responds 
well to being revved quite hard. Peak 


power is achieved at 5,700rpm, so 
there is a benefit to be gleaned from 
holding on to your gears that shade 
longer. 

Performance isn't really the point 
of this powerplant but if you really 
persevere, it will spirit the Civic from 
0 to 62mph in 14.6 seconds, way 
down on the 8.9s sprint that's 
achievable in the 1.8-powered 
model. 

The 1.4 i-DSI is the engine to go for 
if your life at the wheel seems to be 
spent in one long traffic jam. 

The engine is ideal for crawling 
along through urban sprawl, with its 
modest 47.9mph combined and 
37.2mpg urban fuel economy figures 
and hushed refinement. 

Torque of 119Nm is produced at 
2,800rpm and this helps when 
pulling out briskly into tight gaps in 
the traffic. 

On the road, the 1.4 Honda Civic is 
much as you would expect from a 
1.4-litre family hatchback. 

The engine is quiet and competent 
but not particularly exciting. 

The Civic is very at home in urban 
areas where the light touch of its 
controls and its tight turning circle 
make it a pleasure to punt about. 

In such situations, the lack of get 
up and go from the engine isn't too 
important and you're free to get on 
with enjoying the responsive chas¬ 
sis. 

The thick C-pillar hinders visibility 


out the back as does the split rear 
screen but you get a good view 
around the front of the car. 

Honda's Civic SE+ is an entry-level 
family hatch that doesn't constantly 


remind you of the fact. 

The engine is refined, economical 
and reasonably sprightly, build qual¬ 
ity is good and there's a surprising 
degree of practicality to the interior. 


Its £14,900 price point is a shade 
above comparable Focus, Megane 
and Golf models but this Civic feels a 
more complete car. Enough said.

PREVIEW 


ROCHDALE 

League Two 

Saturday, January 26. KO 3pm 

Stadiummk 

ROCHDALE, who have lost one match on the road this 
term, are one of the form sides in League Two at the 
moment. 

Keith Hill’s side had their match against Bradford post¬ 
poned at the weekend but prior to that they had lost just 
once in nine games. 

When the Dons travelled to the Spotland Stadium in 
September it appeared to be three points in the bag as 
they held a 2-1 lead over their hosts. However, two 
goals in the final minute secured Rochdale a dramatic 
win. 

The Dons will be hoping to erase those memories as 
they host Dale and will also want to return to winning 
ways at home following their first back-to-back defeats 
of the season. 

With Kevin Gallen returning to the bench against Wrex¬ 
ham, Ince has the choice between him and Aaron 
Wilbraham upfront in the favoured lone-striker role. 



MACCLESFIELD TOWN 

League Two 

Tuesday, January 29. KO 7.45pm 

Stadiummk 

FIVE months ago a six goal thriller could not separate 
the two sides. 

Eighteen places is the difference between the teams 
now but Macclesfield will look at bottom-place Wrex¬ 
ham’s victory over the league leaders to give them a lit¬ 
tle inspiration. 

The Silkmen will also know they are capable of pulling 
off an upset too, just a few weeks ago 
despite having ten men for almost 40 
minutes, they grabbed an important 1-0 
win at Peterborough. 

Meanwhile, Danny Swailes, right, will 
be hoping he can shake off the groin 
strain that has plagued him in recent 
weeks to join Alan Navarro and Paul Ince 
in getting one over their former club.

DONS reserves were subjected to an embar¬ 
rassing 12-1 thrashing at the hands of 
Ipswich Town. 

Three trailists, Shaun Newton, Reis Ashraf 
and James Simmonds, were in the Dons 
line-up who face the experienced Ipswich 
outfit which included Fabian Wilnis, Richard 
Naylor and Dan Harding. 

Jordan Rhodes was the star player for the 
Tractor boys as he claimed six of the goals, 
while Ashraf came off the bench to score the 
consolation for the Dons. 

THREE MK Dons players have left the club. 

Sam Page and Scott Taylor departed last 
week while John Hastings said his good¬ 
byes on Monday. 


Defender Page, who came through the 
club’s academy ranks, has spent most of 
this season on loan to Hendon after see¬ 
ing first team opportunities limited. 

While Hastings, who joined 18-months 
ago from non-league Tooting and 
Mitcham United, made 12 first team 
appearances. 

Striker Taylor spent two years with the 
club, playing under three managers, and 
scored five goals in his 55 appearances. 

Taylor said: “The supporters have been 
absolutely fantastic during my time with 
the club. They’ve given me nothing but 
their full backing from day one and they 
deserve all the success I’m sure they will 
enjoy in the coming years.” 


MK DONS v WREXHAM SATURDAY, JANUARY 19

Seven new 
players put an 
end to seven 
straight defeats 

BY SIMONE CORGAN 

simone.corgan@mk-news.co.uk 

ROCK-BOTTOM Wrexham pulled 
off the result of the weekend when 
they ended a barren run of seven 
home games to beat MK Dons 1 -0. 

A mismatch on paper, with the 
Dons holding one of the best away 
records in the country - travelling 
to Wales with only one defeat on 
the road while Wrexham were nurs¬ 
ing seven straight league defeats. 

But the Welsh side have taken 
advantage of the January transfer 
window by bringing in nine new 
players, with seven of them in the 
match day squad facing the Dons. 

The new players signalled a new 
fight for the relegation-stricken 
side and unfortunately for the 
Dons they were up against a bat¬ 


tling team. 

Brian Little has taken a massive 
gamble, shippingi n a mass of play¬ 
ers, hoping they gel quickly and 
take them to safety. It could have 
gone one of two ways, the team 
could have looked disjointed and 
lack the communication needed to 
win games or they could fight for 
the right to be in the starting line¬ 
up and show their new Gaffer they 
are the players to rescue the side. 

As for the Dons, if the Wrexham 
players did not know each other, 
Paul Ince’s game plan would have 
been a little tougher than usual. 

On the day the Robins were 
arguably the better side, they were 
built from the back with a solid 
defence closing down any Dons 
attack to stifle and stop them. 

When the Dons reverted to a few 
long balls down to Aaron Wilbra¬ 
ham they were quickly nodded 
away by centre back pairing Steve 
Evans and Richard Hope, who 
looked solid at the back through¬ 
out. 

Colin Cameron had the pick of 
the chances for the Dons when he 
managed to get the slightest touch 
on a tight angled cross from Keith 
Andrews, but curled the ball just 
beyond the post. 


And it was that effort early on in 
the first-half that could have 
changed the fate for the Dons, 
something boss Ince is all too 
aware of. 

“When you play teams like that 
you’ve got to take your chances 
early doors,” he said, “Colin 
Cameron should have scored and 
after that it became a nothing 
game, nil-nil would have been a 
fair result.” 

The Robins’ winner came in con¬ 
troversial circumstances as keeper 
Willy Gueret looked to be fouled in 
his initial clearance. Phil Bollard 
appeared to bump into Gueret as 
he half punched a Danny Sonner 
corner, and when Andrews eventu¬ 
ally pulled the ball out of the box it 
fell at the feet of Neil Roberts who 
sent a perfectly executed chip into 
the back of the net. 

Back-to-back defeats have come 
at a price for the Dons as their 11 
point lead at the top has been 
chopped to seven, with four of the 
chasing sides also holding a game 
in hand. 

Ince said: “I feel we let ourselves 
down, I don’t think we battled hard 
enough, they out battled us - that’s 
not something I like to say about 
my team.”

MK DONS v WREXHAM 



He nose you know: Drissa Diallo sporting a bandage puts in a

FANS’ FAVOURITE WRITES FOR YOU 


LOOKING back at Saturday’s 
game, I have to say that it 
had a draw written all over 
it. Both teams created little 
and I think both managers 
would have happily walked 
away sharing the points. 

At this time it seems like 
the old MK Dons luck is 
coming back to haunt us, 
when I say luck I mean lack 
of it. Over the past few 
weeks we have seen the 
weather get worse and the 
pitches seem to be deterio¬ 
rating quicker than an Eng¬ 
lish Summer! 

To be honest I think this 
doesn’t help us one bit and I 
know the Gaffer commented 
on the state of Wrexham’s 
pitch on Saturday. Having 
spoken to their grounds¬ 
man, I know for a fact that 
they had 19 days of solid 
rain and they hadn’t 
touched the pitch since the 
rain started. Everybody 
knows by now that we try to 
play the game the right way 
but you also have to have 
the means to do this. No dis¬ 
respect to groundsmen and 
managers throughout the 
league but if they can gain 
any advantage they will. 

This is how highly 
regarded we are in League 
Two. 

Now what we have to do is 



quickly adapt to these tac¬ 
tics and make sure that in 
each game we are more pre¬ 
pared for the physical battle 
rather than total football. 

Fair play to Wrexham, they 
had a game plan and they 
stuck to it so you can’t really 
take anything away from 
them. I think we will just 
have to get used to that style 
of play, especially away 
from home. 

One thing I have learned 
this year, having watched 
the Gaffer and his staff 
work, is that the defeat Sat¬ 
urday would have cut him 
deeper than anyone else. 

He will definitely be 
demanding much more 
from our next two fixtures. 
Both are against teams that 
know the league inside and 
out so we will have to take 
our chances when they 
come and really fly out of 
the blocks to get the results 
needed. 

See you Saturday.

THE Lions have their BBL Trophy fate in 
their own hands. 

At the start of the weekend the Lions 
looked to be bowing out of the competi¬ 
tion in the group stages as they slipped to 
a narrow defeat at the hands of reigning 
champions Plymouth Raiders. But 
Cheshire Jets threw them a lifeline as they 
beat Plymouth leaving the last semi-final 
spot up for grabs. 

The Raiders and Jets have a chance to 
qualify but rely on other results to go 
their way where as the formula is simple 
for the Lions. Beat Leicester this weekend 

ICE HOCKEY 


and they will once again face Newcastle 
Eagles but this time in the semi-finals, 
lose to Leicester and they kiss goodbye to 
their stab at a second trophy this season. 

Following their triumph in the BBL Cup 
the Lions paraded their silverware before 
the match, while the Riders showed off 
new signing Carlo White. 

And White wasted no time in showing 
the travelling support what they could 
expect from him as he netted three times 
to tie the score at 6-6 with three minutes 
gone. 

Terrell Brown led the way in a 13-0 burst 
as he hit two three-pointers before Chad 
McKnight encouraged a promising 
response but the Lions were leading 28- 
10 at the end of the first quarter. 

The first six points of the second fell to 
Tony Windless and after exchanging bas¬ 
kets White then set the Riders off on a 12- 
0 run but Vince Macauley’s side still held 
a 50-36 advantage. 

The Riders picked up in the third quar¬ 
ter with Vear and Wellington putting the 


points on the board but the Lions contin¬ 
ued to do just enough to carry their lead 
into the final stage. 

It was a blistering end to the game as 
Peter Heizer sealed seven points and 
Brown hit four three-pointers before 
Shawn Jamison and Liam Cort secured 
the convincing score line. 

On Saturday, the Lions continued where 
they left off and held a lead over Ply¬ 
mouth up to half-time. 

Then Plymouth discovered some form 
and were able to string a 10-5 run 
together to tie the game at the end of the 
third, setting up a nail biting final quarter. 

When Anthony Martin grabbed the last 
three points of the evening the Lions’ BBL 
Trophy dreams looked shattered, but 
luckily for them the Cheshire Jets got the 
result needed to keep the Lions in with a 
shout. 

■ THE must-win tie with Leicester Riders 
takes place this Saturday. Tip-off at the 
Gateway is at 7.30pm. 


Lightning back after Slough slump 



Michael Wales rounds Isle of White netminder to score Picture Jason Jackson 


WIGHTLINK felt a Lightning backlash as 
MK hammered home nine unanswered 
goals a day after being embarrassed at 
Slough. 

The eagerly anticipated clash with title 
rivals Slough Jets did not live up to expec¬ 
tations as MK failed to turn up. 

Nicky Chinn and Kevin Philips had 
Slough 2-0 up within four minutes as the 
home side dominated play. While Ross 
Bowers’ goal on the seventh minute gave 
the travelling support some hope, it 
turned out to be the solo Lightning strike. 

And within a minute Chinn had his sec¬ 
ond, restoring the two goal difference, 
before Steve Moria took advantage of a 
power play giving Slough a 4-1 lead. 

It was much the same in the second as 
the game was played around Lightning 
and Zornan Kozic netted at the start and 
end of the period. 

Lightning, trailing by five, looked out of 
sorts and appeared miles behind the Jets, 
who rounded off the 7-1 whipping with 
Moria’s second of the evening. 

But fans were in for a treat the next day 
as Lightning side sent Wightlink packing 
with their tails between their legs. 

Having put the off colour performance 
to the back of their minds Lightning ran 
rampant throughout the sixty minutes. 

Ross Bowers was on fine form, hitting 
his first of five in the second minute, to 
steer MK to an vital win. 

Toni Alasaarela grabbed two while 
Michael Wales, Gary Clarke and Adam 
Carr completed the 9-0 victory. 

Losing to the Jets must have hurt Light-

MILTON Keynes stay fourth in the South¬ 
ern Counties North division despite los¬ 
ing to Swindon. 

It was a forwards-based match up 
between the sides as the weather condi¬ 
tions played its part in the scrappy affair. 

When the ball was out in open play MK 
looked lively and their backs were run¬ 
ning good lines, but a lack of support 
meant their moves were never finished. 

Swindon were first to score when the 
ball was secured by their forwards and 
their well organized pack drove over for 


ning but had they lost two on the bounce, 
their league position would have suf¬ 
fered. As it turned out they kept their 
third place and are eight points behind 
leaders Guildford Heat. 

The mixed weekend came just days 
after Lightning had secured a one goal 
advantage in the Knock-out Cup semi¬ 
finals. 

Bracknell Bees will visit Milton Keynes 
tomorrow night knowing they need an 
early goal to get back on even terms. 


an unconverted try. While the kick was 
missed it did not take long for Swindon to 
add to their advantage when they were 
awarded a penalty in front of the posts 
their fly-half quickly made it 8-0. 

MK were also dealt a blow when scrum 
half Daniel Pearson was forced to leave 
the field through injury. 

The restart was much more promising 
for MK and it after ten minutes they were 
on the score board. 

Phil Powell broke through the Swindon 
defence and off-loaded to Mads Jensen 


Clarke had given Lightning a 1-0 lead at 
the end of the first and Alasaarela struck 
to double their lead before Michal Kanka 
pulled one back.

eventually saw Lightning take the all 
important 4-3 advantage.

winger dived over for his eighth try of the 
season, and narrowed the deficit to three 
points. 

But the fightback was ended when Pow¬ 
ell was sin-binned in the final ten min¬ 
utes for blocking and when Swindon 
kicked a penalty to make the score 11-5, 
there was no coming back for MK.

Red Bull driver 
fears for safety 

BY SIMONE C0RGAN 

simone.corgan@mk-news.co.uk 

FORMULA One chiefs are putting 
the safety of their drivers at risk to 
spice up the sport. 

At least that is the thoughts of Red 
Bull Racing driver David Coulthard 
who has expressed his concerns at 
the latest rule changes. 

It was in particular the ban on trac¬ 
tion control, which prevents the rear 
wheels spinning if a driver applies too 
much power, that has caused 
Coulthard the most worry. 

Any device or system which would 
notify drivers of the onset of wheel 
spin is also not permitted. 

Speaking in Jerez at the launch of 
the new Red Bull car, the RB4, the 36- 
year-old said: “The big issue is when 
we have standing water on the track 
without traction control. 

“We’ve got so used to racing in wet¬ 
ter and wetter conditions due to the 
toys we’ve had available to us. 

“If we go to Fuji without TC (traction 
control), you won’t have as many cars 
finish, I can tell you that. 

“This is inherently a dangerous 
sport. There hasn’t been a big inci¬ 
dent, touch wood, for a long time, but 
it’s just a question of when that hap¬ 
pens.” 

And his Red Bull team mate, Mark 
Webber, believes he has already seen 
the knock-on effects in testing. 

“No question about it, there will be 
more crashes,” said the Australian, 
“there are more guys going off, there 
are more red flags, and that is going to 


happen in races - that is a 100 per 
cent certainty.” 

However, the governing body, the 
Federation Internationale de 
l’Automobile (FIA), state the rule 
change will place more emphasis on 
driver skill and should lead to more 
overtaking, as drivers are more likely 
to make mistakes. 

Last year Formula One became 
popular again, drawing in record 
audiences for races, while 85,000 
turned out for the British Grand Prix. 
It was one of the most enthralling 


seasons with the title race going right 
down to the wire as Kimi Raikkonen 
pipped Lewis Hamilton - who stole 
the limelight in an impressive debut 
season - to the Drivers 
Championship in the final race. 

Twists and turns took place on and 
off the tack and this years champi¬ 
onship has a lot to live up to. 

Therefore, the sporting regulations, 
which cause debate every year, have 
been adapted to keep petrol heads 
entertained. 

Teams will now be tested to the 


maximum as they are now required to 
make gearboxes last four consecutive 
Grand Prix meetings, or risk a five 
place penalty, in a bid to improve reli¬ 
ability and cut costs. 

All eleven teams must use a stan¬ 
dardised, FIA-approved electronic 
control units and cars participating in 
the third qualifying stage no longer 
get back the fuel used in the session. 
But all the changes could come at a 
price. 

The highly anticipated season starts 
in Australia in March.
